this year
is about to end and I thought there wasn’t a best moment to go through our
clothes and get rid of what we don’t wear it anymore , that way we will make
room for our new purchases and our closet will look a little less crowded!

I know it’s
hard to part from some clothes, but sometimes it’s necessary unless we live in
a mansion , and most of us don’t! we have to organize our closet , we basically
have got no choice!

First thing
to do is going through all your clothes and divide them in two : on one side
you will put everything you worn in the last six months, and on the other side
all the clothes you haven’t worn for more than six months, that’s a great start
and it will show you how much stuff you saved without even remembering about
it!

now we’re going to go through each side , starting from the one with clothes
you’ve worn in the last six months ( I hope it’s bigger than the other one!) : check
them one by one to see if they need to be fixed, for example if there are
buttons missing, if you need to trim them or if there are holes in them, and
put all those in need of be fixed on one side. Now try to be honest: is there
the chance you will get them fixed? Can you sew? Can your mother help you or
will they lie there with no chance of being worn? If you think you won’t fix
them, then toss them! If you think you still love them and you can fix them,
take them!

Let’s take
a step further and, let’s say you’ve decided to fix them: there’s another
question you should ask yourself, which is “ will I honestly wear it again?” if
the answer is yes, then it’s worth fixing them, but if the answer is no because
they’re old, they’re out of fashion, and you’re not fond of them anymore, then
it’s not worth fixing them and you can toss them! You can make an exception for
your wedding dress of course, I would never throw it away and I think nor would
you, keep it even if you’re not going to wear it anymore, it’s precious!

Now let’s
look through the other pile of clothes, the one you haven’t worn in the last
six months: first question you should ask yourself is if they fit properly, and
you should take your time trying them out and looking at yourself in the mirror
to get an update on how you look with them on, you could ask for your husband
or a friend’s opinion if you want, what matters is you’ll toss each one you
don’t like how it looks on yourself…I know, it’s hard, but we can do it!

At this
point you should get a pile of clothes that fit well to go through, and the
next question is :will you wear it within next week? If the answer is no
because it’s dressy and you don’t wear it on an everyday basis, ask yourself if
there’s the chance you might wear it within the next year or so, and if you
don’t think so then toss it, if you think you might wear it then keep it.

After
sorting your wardrobe out following these simple tips , you should now have way
more room for new clothes, you should also have gotten rid of old and out of
fashion clothes that I suggest you to give to charity or to your local church,
there are many people in need and they will sure be happy to get new clothes !
as for you, well, it’s good to start fresh, isn’t it? We deserve a shopping
spree for being so good! Happy New Year!

This year
I’ve tried many new, for me , brands, brands that have been on my wish list for
a long time and that I’ve eventually had the chance to buy! It’s been a year of
new holy grail products, of experimenting, and also of some disappointing
products, but all in all I’m happy with 2014 and I hope 2015 will be just as
good!

I had to
write the top five list several times, it was hard to pick just five products
and I felt I left out many, but they will be mentioned in the other top lists
I’m going to post next month, divided by category: best lipsticks, nail
polishes and so on.

I’ll start
from number five and I’ll go up to number one:

5. urban
decay revolution lipsticks: I’ve got two of them and I love the creamy texture
that doesn’t bleed , it applies easily and once it’s set it’s very longlasting;
they haven’t got any smell whatsoever which is a bit weird because we’re not
used to that, but once you get used to it it’s alright. These lipsticks are
very longlasting without drying your lips, they are comfortable all day long, the color
range is very interesting and it goes from nude shades to intense ones, they
are worth the price that’s for sure! Here you can read my review on them.

4. Lime
Crime liquid liners: this is one of the
brands I’ve tried out this year for the first time, I was really curious about
it because it’s difficult to find good colored liners, almost impossible I’d
say. Well no, it’s not impossible, Lime Crime liners are extremely good and
pigmented, they allow you to trace an even line, they haven’t got a too liquid
consistency but they are not gloppy , their texture is the right one and you
won’t struggle to draw a neat line! Color pay off is amazing, what you see in
the bottle is what you’ll get on your eyes, they are the best colored liquid
liners I’ve ever tried, and they also got a white one which is amazing! Here
you can read my full review.

3. kiko
unlimited stylo lipsticks: some of you might be surprised by my choice, I’ve
read different opinions about them , some loves them and some hates them, I
definitely love them!Here you can read
my detailed review, let’s just say they apply easily , they glide on your lips
without being stripy or patchy, and after few seconds they set and their finish
changes to matte; they are extremely long lasting, they feel comfortable on
your lips even though it depends on the shade: total matte ones like number 07
are a bit drying after wearing them for 4-5 hours, while pearly ones are more
comfortable and they don’t dry as much as the first ones. All in all I love
them , they aren’t for people with dry lips that’s for sure, but I love the
formula , color range is awesome and number 11 is my favourite lipstick of all
time, lasting power is really good and quality price ratio is good as well!

2.the balm
sexy mama: it is a mattifying powder, the mattifying powder actually, because
it is the best one I’ve ever tried! It’s got cons, it’s not translucent as it
claims to be but I can make it work because it’s just a tiny bit darker than my
complexion, and you’ll run out of it quite fast, I’ve finished one in two
months; in spite of that I love it, I used it all summer long and it never
failed me, not even when it was very humid! I could exercise and I looked matte
afterwards, it is an amazing product , my holy grail powder! I’ve always looked
for a long lasting powder that gives a matte finish without looking cakey and
without emphasizing pores and fine lines, and I eventually found it!

1. first
place is for my beloved Urban Decay Electric Palette, I’ve got no doubt about
it! As soon as I saw the first photos I fell in love with it and I decided it
had to be mine! I don’t buy palettes unless I really like them, I’ve got few of
them actually, I don’t like neutral colors and I didn’t have many till the
beginning of this year, when I bought few ( I still haven’t got many but I’ve
got the basics), I definitely don’t and won’t buy neutral palettes and I don’t
buy similar ones , but this one has got all the qualities I love! Colors are so
pigmented and bright, they blend really well, it’s very easy working with them,
they don’t crease and they last all day long without fading! There are some
unique shades I love, I’ve been using it very often and I will repurchase it
once it’s gone! You can read my review and see swatches here.

This a bold
look for new years eve, that features classic festive colors such as gold and
black, for a glamorous, edgy and classy look! It’s not your everyday make up,
but once a year we are allowed to step out of our comfort zone, so let’s get
started!

First thing
to do is applying a very shimmery champagne color in your corner and dragging
into your lid , about till the half of it; on the outer half of your lid you’re
going to apply a warmer gold pigment , and in the outer corner you’re going to
add a bit of a copper eyeshadow to create a nice gradient. Blend each color
into the next one, so that there won’t be any harsh line. With black eye shadow
and an eyeliner brush, or with a black eye pencil, you’ll then draw a winged
line starting from your outer corner, and then you’ll cut your crease starting
from the end of the line you just placed. Once you’ve done that you’ll go over
with black liquid liner and you’ll thicken the line in the outer corner , and
you’ll also draw a thick line close to your lashline. On the lower lashline
there’s a bold black line, Egyptian style , for a mischevious and goddess like
look! That’s it, you’re ready to go and enjoy your evening!
